As a Lamb

And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” Revelation 7:11-12

LORD, to be with You one day and fall on my face before Your throne! And for today, I praise You, thank You, and love You … today. To You, I give myself. You came to this earth for me, for other “me..s” for You wanted to save us and bring us into Your Kingdom. As Christmas approaches, the love I feel for You grows deeper and deeper and I thank You, LORD. I thank You.

for sending Your Son

The Messiah, The Anointed One

Immanuel, God with Us

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”–which means, “God with us.” Matthew 1:22-23

Salvation

The Light

The Truth

The Way

Jesussaith unto him,Iam the way, the truth,and the life: no mancomethunto the Father,but by me. John 14:6

a manger

… and the babelyingin a manger. Luke 2:16b

Joseph’s obedience to God

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”Matthew 1:20-21

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Matthew 1:24-25

the Shepherds

their obedience to God

And it came to pass , as the angels were gone awayfromthemintoheaven, the shepherdssaidonetoanother, Let usnowgo even untoBethlehem,andseethisthing which is come to pass , whichtheLord hath made known unto us.And they came with haste, andfoundMary,and Joseph,and the babelyingin a manger. Luke 2:15-16

Mary’s humility

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” Luke 1:38

ButMarykeptall these things, and pondered them inher heart. Luke 2:19

for simplicity

spending very little

to prepare for Christmas through words of my heart, actions of my soul

to celebrate Christmas by loving and caring

baking cookies and making fudge

the tiny beaded Christmas tree given to my mother by a dear friend of hers who made it for her now is our Christmas tree

God’s Enormous Love packaged in The Gift … Christ Jesus

I praise You today, my LORD of lords; I thank You today, and love You today, my King of kings. I open my hands and lift my arms to my Savior born in a manger. Humbly and quietly, You came to save many such as myself. May I remember and remain. May I bow and bend. I offer my all to You, sweet little Jesus, at this CHRISTmas time and always. Amen.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

I am a quiet woman growing each day in the LORD.
Christ is my home. He is the well from which I drink. I became His 25 years ago. I am 71 so that is actually a small percentage of my life through which I could have walked closely with Him. No matter, He never stopped waiting for me.
I am now a widow from a Christ-centered marriage of 25 years to Kenneth. I praise God for him. I miss him so. We had no children.
I feel God’s call to be His light in this dark world. I am grateful for the love God gives to me so I may give it away.
I live in Lufkin, Texas, USA (in Deep East Texas/Pineywoods). I have taught Women’s Sunday School/Bible Study, co-administrated/taught a teen girls’ annual conference. I participate in women’s Bible studies in church as well as on my own. I am a retired elementary school teacher, having taught in California, Washington, D.C., and have taught older children and adults in Oregon and Texas. I also retired from being a children’s librarian in the public library system, a job I thoroughly loved. I tutored primary-aged children who are falling behind in those early years of school until we moved in May 2017.

His Word

The LORD your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
(Zephaniah 3:17 ESV)

Words Woven

As the moments of each day meld together to form my outer world, so, too, do thoughts, studies, and prayers illuminate my inner world. Journaling is my way toward clarity and peace as I process the study of God’s Word, the books I read, my reactions to the world around me and to the intertwined global world. My heart thoughts become my journal thoughts.

As God interlaces the threads of the woof and the warp of my life, I become less like Linda and more like Christ Jesus.

Tis Me…

I am…
